Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Thanks for the info Yarno. The calipers came complete, even with the brake pads, although it was half dismantled when I took the photos. I have now bought new seals for the piston and new brake pipes. They left my pocket empty :x so expensive! I also fabricated thick iron flanges to attach the ...

Can some of you Isuzu owners at least tell me which vechiles do these calipers not belong to?

Maybe I can start eliminating some guesses I have made.

By any chance, does anyone of you recognise this Rear Brake Caliper? The person I bought it from said that it is from an Isuzu Trooper or pick- up, but when I compared it to my fathers on his Trooper, it seemed somewhat different! I am intending to fit it to my landrover as it allows handbrake ...

You were right Rotazuk. Ity's the 3.0 that gives trouble.
Visit http://www.mbs4x4.co.uk/Pages/4x4_engines.html to see the engine conversion I mentioned in the previous post.

The 3.1 Isuzu is the one known for cracking cylinder heads, ecc.
In fact in england there is a company that swaps the recent Trooper 3.1 and replaces it with a new 2.8 for about 5000 uk.

My motor vehicle has a diesel engine, how are diesel driven vehicles tested for exhaust emissions? The exhaust emissions of diesel driven motor vehicles manufactured before 31st July 1979 are tested visually for smoke opacity only. This means that if dense blue smoke or clearly visible black smoke ...

Yes, you are right regarding the coil fitting, but another problem would be combining the diff. ratios! and I am on a tight budjet. Anyway, I have found a set of discovery axles wich have done 75,000 km at a good price. They are disks all round, and I'm going for them. Just for curiosity, is the ...

do you meen the Isuzu engine? I dont have it fitted yet!

Hi Callum, I am about to carry out the same conversion as you, but with the difference that i will be using the stock isuzu g.box and t.case. I have already seen your posts on landrovernet.com, and everything seems to be fine. Any hints would be appreciated as I am supposed to start work on it in ...

Thank for the link. I'll keep an eye on it

The Isuzu difs wont be available, although I may acquire a Hilux diff. Could it be easily converted to coils? as I think that they all have leafs at the back.
Or do you think that I shouldn't worry about the prop Universal joints when articulating with about 2 inch lift?

10x for the help

Yes Loanrangie, I will be using the isuzu tcase.
The reason that I will not be using a landrover gbox is price.
A gbox alone here in Malta costs as much as the whole Isuzu unit I will be buying, and I cant afford it . Let alone the conversion plate!

In fact it costs less than 1/2 the price of a 300tdi, and it is more powerful. I'm buying the engine complete with the gearbox, so I will not need aconversion plate. That's why I'm asking if anyone has done this complete conversion. A problem I'm thinking of, is that the propshaft is exiting the ...

Hi to all! I was wondering if any of you have ever transplanted an Isuzu 4JB1TC engine and gearbox into a rover. I was thinking about doing this modification to my rover, as I'm going to modify it from a LWB series 3 into a coil sprung 100" for offroading. I would appreciate any comments and advice ...

Hi ISUZUROVER, have you carried out the 4JB1T engine conversion? I am currently thinking ot buying a 4JB1TC+ gearbox for my landrover, and I wish to hear some comments about these engines in rovers. Also, do you have any idea of what year it may be? (it has a top mounted intercooler, which is ...
